VirtualBus: Volvo B7TL Wright Gemini Eclipse Soundpack

$20

This soundpack is created for use primarily in video games and simulators to simulate the sonic characteristics of a Volvo B7TL double-deck bus with Wright Gemini Eclipse bodywork in the United Kingdom from 2002.

Features:

Dashboard/driving cab and passenger saloon foley.

Seamless sound loops of engine running at steady speeds throughout the entire RPM range from both exterior and interior perspective.

Off Load:
Description of the sound file where the engine is working under no load (when out-of-gear and stationary). For the most, these sounds are suitable to represent “Off Load” applications. A steady pitch of an engine running completely off load was impossible to capture during the recording session.

On Load:
Description of the sound file where the engine is working under load (acceleration). Satisfactory sounds were unobtainable at high engine speeds due to gearbox limitations or at high road speeds due to engine bay temperature and wind noise during the recording session.
For higher engine speeds, it is acceptable to use the “Off Load” sound files for both “On Load” and “Off Load” conditions.

Engine Speeds:
Engine sound files were recorded at a range of different engine speeds between idle (tickover) and the maximum engine speed (red line).
Files are numbered according to the approximate recorded revolutions-per-minute (RPM) reading and may need fine pitch tuning once compiled.

Gearbox Sounds:
A small number of processed sound loops are contained within this soundpack, which mainly represent the characteristic note of the rear axle. The files are numbered according to the approximate recorded speed in miles-per-hour (MPH) and may need fine pitch tuning once compiled.
Some gear changing sounds are also included.

All sound files have been mastered to peak at -0.5dB, except in some cases where the sounds are part of a set that would make the master level of related sounds disproportionate when linked.

Infrastructure Recordings is a small enterprise founded by Chris Richmond, whose life-long interests in sound and music have developed into an up and coming brand of high-quality audio recordings.

Chris’ links with the public transport industry means he has a great deal of experience with buses, refining an ear for detail, which, combined with his own curiosity has enabled him to produce a number of high-quality sound libraries defining each vehicle’s unique sonic characteristics.

A railway enthusiast at heart, Chris is also passionate about railway recordings- particularly the sounds of fast-disappearing heritage vehicles, attempting to preserve those characteristic soundtracks we all take for granted, which will soon all be consigned to the history books.

With A Sound Effect, Asbjoern has created a web site where our international community can browse, learn, and share the vast fruits of our labors. Together we are accelerating the very real potential power of sound design as a recognized art form.

There are many great independent sound effect libraries available these days. The main problem with having so many, is keeping track of them!

A Sound Effect is a great hub, and is one of the first places I visit to look for sounds by category or genre. I started coming here to see if I could find libraries that I knew I had heard, but forgot WHERE I had heard them.

And in the process discovered libraries I never would have found otherwise. Great work! Keep it up!

We're always looking for new sounds to mangle, so when A Sound Effect had a holiday sale, I tried them out.

The purchase experience is really smooth and quick, and delivery is almost instant.
